Working part time

FoxBox

So I only found out I was autistic about 2-years ago go and since then I have learnt a lot about myself.

One thing I found out that I cannot work all day. I couldn't last in school and even days when I'm not doing anything I have to sleep in the afternoon to recharge. 

It's not that I don't want to work full time but I physically mentally and emotionally just can't. But no one seems to understand this as I'm currently looking for a new job I'm constantly asked why I'm looking for part-time why are all the jobs that I'm applying for his part time and even though I have explained myself especially my mum doesn't understand and and kind of employees that im being over dramatic or lazy.

And now every time I do have an interview and I explain that I can't do all days and my compromises I feel really ashamed of myself and maybe I am just being lazy and overdramatic but deep down I know no I cannot have a full time job and I just need some support with that.

  • One word, freelance.

    Works differently for different industries, but this is work you can do on a project basis and those that require the help of freelancers are usually well aware that we need to juggle clients/projects, so allow you to set the parameters that best suit you in getting the job done.

    I do design jobs freelance. It isn't all easy, I have to juggle a lot, and there isn't such a thing as job security, but by having a lots of clients you can be reassured if you lose one then you have others to pick up the slack and maintain an income from

    thats the thing though, alot of people would want security and a constant steady income that they know will pay the bills consistently. that way with security and constant regular pay you dont need to worry or stress about anything.
